The charts give data on the officer's financial estimate and how it was dispensed in a certain location in Britain for 2017 and 2018. From an

overall

perspective, it is readily apparent that there has been a slight increase in every category and the money was mostly spent on staff salaries.

however

, ended at around 14 more.

money has to be distributed in some way and three-quarters of it were to pay the staff. The remaining 25 % was spent on improving the technology, transport, and buildings of the police headquarters.
